Khan polling way ahead in November 2020.

London sounds fantastic. Shame the rest of England can't be like it. At least politically and demographically.

You want tasty bites of Gammons?

You can have tasty bites of Gammons!

Armando Iannucci would have thrown out a lot of that stuff for Partridge as being a bit much.

I cannot believe that 7% of Londoners, even if you only polled really wanky people who walk really fast with briefcases and shit, intend to vote Lib Dem. Sorry

Strong in West London/ Richmond areas. So yes, really wanky is in nail on head territory.

Saw a big billboard of Brian Rose in Streatham. All it said to me was "I've got loads of money"

I think this might be my favourite bit:

ACTOR
Peter acting roles include playing the stand in captain of the Enterprise while Kirk (William Shatner) was at Federation Headquarters in Star Trek to a Bollywood soap opera.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Saw Luisa Porritt on the news who said her advantage was that she was selected late so still full of beans

The life of Brian.....

The life of Brian.....

Terrible form, 30 seconds in he's blowing + punching a bag like that with no wraps is a big no no.

 

[Border Reiver]

Strong in West London/ Richmond areas. So yes, really wanky is in nail on head territory.

Proportional representation allows such votes and gives them meaning in a way that FPTP does not.

I got a letter with a postal vote registration form and a picture of Rishi fucking Sunak asking me to vote for that cunt Bailey. Obviously I'm not going to but is there any point getting a postal vote? My local polling station is very close and I quite like voting in person. I wouldn't want Drillminister to miss out on a valuable vote if covid changes things though.

 

[Gramsci]

I'm not going to vote Tory. Particularly this Tory candidate.

But I don't want to vote Khan. As the left wing alternative to Tessa Jowell he has been a disappointment.

This will also be a test of Starmer leadership.

I don't like what Starmer has been doing.

I think Labour Party are taking Labour vote in London for granted. The they have no where else to go line of argument.

Starmer is doing his best to placate Northern red wall voters assuming metropolitan Labour voters will just support his Labour Party.

As a London metropolitan voter Im thinking of turning up to vote and spoiling my ballot.

Considerate of him that, the people at Tufton Street only had a short walk to take part.

would mean that you're not tied to voting on election day if there's anything that stops you on the day.

i don't usually do postal votes, but have asked for one this time just in case i end up self isolating or something on the day.

whether there's anyone i want to vote for (wokingham council not london mayor in my case) is another question

I disagree. On the royal houses he seems to want to keep one and implicitlly keep the monarchy. But apart from that quite good.

if you recall what happened to the romanovs after february 1917 you'll recall they too kept a house. in ekaterinburg. and all the buildings binface mentions have extensive cellars, large enough for a real-life production of the main scene in poe's 'cask of amontillado' in which the several windsors can play the misnamed fortunato and there will be any number of volunteers for the part of montresor.
